🏁 Zenith El Primero Chronograph Automatic 40mm

Not every legendary chronograph wears the name Daytona. Those who know, know.

The Zenith El Primero is one of the most celebrated automatic chronograph movements ever created. Introduced in 1969, it changed watchmaking forever with its high-beat movement and legendary reliability. It was so good that Rolex chose it to power the Daytona for many years.

This beautiful 40mm example has just been professionally serviced and regulated (service value approximately £400) and is running exactly as it should.

📈 Outstanding timegrapher results:
• Up to 347° amplitude
0.0 ms beat error
• Healthy, strong and ready to wear.

Presented in excellent overall condition, this is exactly the kind of El Primero collectors look for—clean, honest and mechanically spot on.
